Fatty Liver: Fatty liver can be benign (just fat) or develop into an inflammatory condition (called nonalcoholic steatohepatitis - nash) which can cause cirrhosis. Grade 2 means that there is moderate fat and injury. Stage would be the scarring that is present. Weight loss is key to treatment, but so is getting the cholesterol, triglycerides, and diabetes (if present) well controlled.
